Q Is non-face-to-face consultation possible?
A If your symptoms are stable, you can start with a non-face-to-face intake and consultation. However, accurate diagnosis and herbal prescription require an in-person visit, and if you have weight loss, swallowing difficulty, or black stools, we recommend an in-person examination first.
Detailed Answer
If your condition is stable and there are no warning signs, we can begin a basic consultation non-face-to-face by listening to your symptoms and lifestyle patterns. This lets us grasp your condition in advance before your first visit and save time. However, there are aspects that require direct examination such as pulse and abdominal diagnosis, so a visit is recommended for accurate diagnosis and prescription.
Korean Medicine Clinic Perspective
In cases of weight loss, difficulty swallowing, or signs like black stools or vomiting blood, we recommend first getting evaluated at a nearby medical institution to rule out the possibility of other diseases. It is advisable to continue Korean medicine treatment after safety is confirmed.
